What's left to say that hasn't been said?
What a day! The Senate Intelligence Committee held its first hearings for #TrumpRussia and it was quite the spectacle. The hero of the day award goes to Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) who showed us what the leader of an intelligence committee should be doing. Bear in mind that back in January he was already calling for a full investigation. So we knew he'd ready if and when the Senate needed to be involved. It started with an ooh...
Well, it looks like Trump responded to the Senate Hearing by:

“Let me set the ground rules real quick,” Mr. Burr said before taking questions. “We’ll answer anything about the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation. We will not take questions on the House Intelligence Committee.”...and ended with a bang:
Interestingly, Roger Stone is also rumored to be seeking immunity. But...President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn is reportedly willing to testify about the Trump campaign's ties to Russia in exchange for immunity from prosecution.Flynn, who resigned as Trump's security adviser after just 24 days, has sent the request to both the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees, the Wall Street Journal reports.The agencies have not yet taken Flynn up on his offer, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.

Great op-ed from @RepKenBuck. Looks like some in the Freedom Caucus are helping me end #Obamacare. https://t.co/Y2vTnIBTBZ— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 30, 2017
If @RepMarkMeadows, @Jim_Jordan and @Raul_Labrador would get on board we would have both great healthcare and massive tax cuts & reform.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 30, 2017

I, for one, am loving his obsession with the Freedom Caucus.
